The CA legislature passed a buttload of bills right before adjourning, so he’s working his way through them now. Plus, CA has a budget deficit, so stuff that costs money has to be more carefully considered - free condoms are a worthwhile thing, but then the question becomes what do you cut instead? It’s not always an easy question.
“How can this law be exploited.” Or “does it make sense to put another law on the books if this is already addressed with existing laws”
If you take the specified reason, then it’s explicitly cited as reason #2. But the backlash is manufactured by progressives and exploited by conservatives to incubate in-fighting. Don’t fall for it.
“You are forbidden from asking questions we don’t like. Those are wrong questions. Being anything shy of worshipful every time your party fails you is working with conservatives because we say so. Now excuse us while we capitulate to conservatives and order you to shut up and be happy about it again.”
Well, he said he vetoed the caste discrimination one because it’s already covered by existing laws, so they don’t need a new one. No clue about the psilocybin. I must have missed that one among the 87 articles about each individual veto that have been posted in the last couple of days.
I mean, yeah, if it’s already prohibited under an existing law, you generally don’t need another one. That’s how laws work, and people do a fair amount of work to remove outdated and duplicate laws because it makes everyone’s job harder when you have to weed through that.

How much do they actually expect these to cost? How about they cancel fireworks at the next sports event. That’d probably cover it
California state government doesn’t pay for fireworks.
How much would prohibiting caste discrimination or decriminalizing psilocybin increase the deficit?
That’s the wrong question.

You’re missing the fire for the smoke, and it’s sad how easily progressives fall for it every time
That sounds like a Wrong Question to me.

“We don’t need laws prohibiting discrimination against [minority]! They’re just whining about nothing because our existing laws cover them!”
A lot of unconvincing excuses to keep straight, huh?
